“Love this place. Wings and burgers are exceptional. In fact, wings are some of the best in the area. Haven’t tried the pizza yet but everyone loves it. Reasonable prices. Service is top notch. Great atmosphere. Fun people. A good place to watch the game.and have a few drinks.“

“We are always so welcomed and feel at home when we come here. This is our place to go after a long days work. The food is always solid. Amazing beer selection.. and best of all amazing service. Our Bartender Julie is so personable and real. We had the French dip tonight and it was amazing!! Wings great as always!!“

“I am a legit basic Benny... nobody, and I don't really rock with saying nice things, bout random Joe's, but I'm g'won have to admit that sometimes I may possibly have a bad attitude. On the muscle peeps... Drew lil daddy dot com (bartender/host) and his colluege (bartender/host), Lexi were absolutely flawless during my interactions with them. I have to admit that I was kinda in a salty mood, but these 2 wonderful people made me feel way unsalty. They didn't just try to make me feel better. They were just basic Benny nice people. I enjoyed our conversations and their pleasant demeanor, including the manner in which they interacted with me. Keeping it a , they're really nice people. I suggest that you come see for yourself on a random Friday night. They are both extremely quality human beings. Drew (he/him) has an old school Orville Wright mustache, and Lexi (she/her) has the fleekest eyebrows in at least my hood. I'm bout that life, so I know bout fleek eyebrows. Please excuse me for any spelling or grammatical errors in this post“

“The Sheffield is a great place to have a great meal and terrific craft beer. The atmosphere is very relaxing. It's a perfect place to unwind and have a great conversation with the other patrons. If you want to come to a place with great food, drinks and relaxing ambience, The Sheffield definitely fits the bill.“

“I should rate this place more often, it’s just never popped up.I’ve been here at least 8-10x and have never had a bad experience.I was just before noon today, so kinda slow and quiet. I heard another patron mention how quiet it was, so the atmosphere wasn’t top notch h, but it did become more vibrant once noon hitService was great. Fish fry Friday. I think Panko breaded, amazing! I like this place.“

“Cute little place with a nice rotation of beers. They strive to have a constant rotation, and some of the beers you can have in a half pint at half the price of a pint. Most bars charge a few dollars more for smaller beers (basically a half pint is more expensive per ounce over a pint at other places). A lot of these beers are tough to find in Rochester, so if you find something you like there you may want to go back sooner than later cause they will probably have a new great beer within a couple of weeks. Also, staff here are always and and attentive.“

“Our first time at this place. We heard the fish fry was good and it was. As was the broiled haddock. We sat at the bar and were very pleased with the two bartenders as well as the hostess/waitress. All hard working and friendly. The vibe is nice too. The bartender said the place has been a bar since the 1800's and Dicky's for decades. A good mix of young and old in the crowd. We definitely will be back and recommend it to others.“

“Had the opportunity to visit this establishment today. Can’t say enough about the good time i had, food was very good, everyone was very friendly and cordial. I have to give Wayne a perfect 10 for his hospitality and great service! Definitely recommend if you are in the area a great place to visit! Will be back again! Thank you!“

“Stopped by Stone’s to meet a friend after work. The bar is located in a small renovated house with outdoor seating on the back deck. Friendly welcoming staff and patrons considering it’s similar to a “Cheers” bar where everyone knows each other. Nice daily food and drink specials, cheerful atmosphere, plenty of off street parking, and good prices. I had a grilled chicken sandwich with fries for $12! They also have a $10 burger night, and steak night (not sure of the cost). It’s worth a visit go check them out.“

“Their plates and burgers are fantastic. And perhaps the best fries in the city. Be careful using the delivery services, sometimes it doesn't take. So give them a call, walk in because they're very friendly and helpful and you'll get a fantastic meal.“

“Love it !!! Was introduced yo this place last year and I just had to come back: been under stress lately and I just out of the blue swung in interned to have 1 drink but ended up having a bunch and meeting new people. Definitely made my day.“

“Dan's pub has been a staple in my life for years. I met some amazing friends here and I always felt like this place was "home". It has some old-school charm with it and is a staple in the Wedge. Great company, great convo and fun regulars.“

“Never had a bad meal at Pub 235! As a family, many dishes have been tried. And it's noteworthy to mention that they the kids menu was just as carefully prepared for the kids as the adults. Sometimes that is not the case at restaurants.“

“The Angry Goat Pub may just be my favorite bar in Rochester. The food and service alone make this one of the best neighborhood bars you can find. As a self-proclaimed garbage plate enthusiast and expert, Angry Goat Pub is in my top 3 favorite plates in Rochester. The main difference between this plate and others you can find in Monroe County is that the homefries are swapped for garlic Parmesan fries, and the meat sauce has goat cheese stacked on top. It's just so good and filling- I had it yesterday and I still haven't felt the feeling of hunger in almost 24 hours. Also importantly, Angry Goat's kitchen is open very late, which is the perfect time to eat one of their plates. The service has also consistently been great. Sometimes at dive bars getting served on a busy night can be a hassle, but here we have been treated very well and served efficiently. There has also been live music here on a pretty consistent basis, but I haven't seen anything like that here. For those looking for a neighborhood bar in the South Wedge, this is definitely the spot to be. Street parking can be a bit of a hassle, so just be careful if driving in.“

“My first review on Google has reached tens of thousands as this infamous frank has become a late night beacon. I returned to validate the exquisite and treasured Joey's Hot Dog, and it continues to deliver. So unsuspecting, yet mighty and fulfilling. Bravo.“

“I stopped by this place with family while we were walking on the canal. It's a very short detour from the Canal towpath, and has outdoor seating, which is great in the summer. Tons of options, and very fair pricing. I got a sandwich, my wife got a salad, and my son got the chicken fingers. Each item was delicious. We will definitely be back.“

“I haven't been here since before Covid and they were on Titus Ave. It was family night for a fish fry. I remember them having the best fish fry's. We got 4 orders with fries and coleslaw. The fish fry's and fries were very good. The fish was a good size and very crispy which I really like. The fries were good. The coleslaw was terrible. Idk what they did to it but we couldn't eat it. Non of us ate it it was that bad. It sucks but I won't be going back for their fish fry just because of the bad coleslaw. We also ordered a appetizer of potato skins with was very good. Service was great. We went early and was served right away“

“Nice place. Wife and I went out Saturday night in the middle of a snow storm. Band playing was "Judahs" or something like that, can't remember. They were pretty good. Noah hooked us up with some amazing meatballs and trash plate. Cover was $5. easy parking in the lot adjacent. Worth a night out.Parking: Lot adjacent has QR code parking. It's safe to use, but easier if you already have Google pay or Apple pay installed in your phone. (You don't have to have it, it just makes it easier)Whole night of parking was like $4. No complaints“

“Bar Person was friendly and professional and they have popcorn.Parking: Parking is behind the bar and there's a lot of room.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a ramp on the side of the building that connects to the parking lot ? so it's easy to get inside.“

“This is a tiny, cute bowling alley! After moving to Rochester, I feel like Radio Social was the place that was pushed as "the bowling place". We found this spot on a weekday evening. We called and were able to walk in and rent a lane. Prices are so reasonable here and there is a Happy Hour too with GREAT deals! Free shoes included in the rental. Everyone is very nice here.I will say, it is a TINY place so may fill up fast (only a few lanes available). There is street parking available. It checks all the boxes here and is a great casual place to go. I would definitely come back.“

“It was mid-afternoon on a weekday. The bar had a few people around it and only 4 of the tables were occupied. Service was instant and fun. Draft beer selection was adequate. The Ruben and Mac salad delicious. Burger and fries very good. Have never had a different experience in 5 or 6 visits. Usually stop there when we cruise down the Erie Canal in the summer.“

“It's a great place to go to sit on the upper level deck just off Monroe Ave and it's got good specials, pool table, dart boards, a claw machine that plays for real drinks and wicked good bar food with lots of room to sprawl out on 2 floors.“

“This place is great. There is only one person taking care of the bar and restaurant but he did a great job of managing both. I eat here everytime I stay in Rochester and the food and beer are always wonderful. I really enjoyed the Mahi tacos and the Jambalaya plate. I would definitely recommend.“

“Fun friendly staff, eclectic people, and fair prices on drinks! Went once for a friend's birthday on a trivia night they host (I believe 7:30 on Tuesdays.) The trivia was provided through an app service, making it easy and accessible to most. The entire trivia contest took almost 2 hours with several short breaks throughout. I am pretty sure the top prize was a $50 gift card, but my team wasn't the winner so not positive. Overall a very enjoyable time, with a solid crowd without being elbow to elbow. Plan to start going more regularly.“

“In the last month I've been to two high end restaurants and ordered pizza from our local place. In all the Filling Station was the best! I'd go back in a heartbeat. The service was great, the bar knew how to pour a drink and I loved my burger. I'm so happy, we'll be “

“Recently stopped in for a fish fry. The size of the fish was as expected, but the breading (instead of being nicely browned, it was almost dark brown) was over cooked and had no flavor. The fries and cole slaw (could have used more) were great. On another visit, had the Rueben and it was one of the best I've ever had. Service staff is always wonderful!“

“The bar has fun arcade games and a good crowd. But I come from Pittsburgh and Philadelphia PA, where the music goes from hip hop to funk to country to soft rock to rap to reggae to golden oldies. It seems like salingers and all the bars neighboring it ONLY play county music.. and no one ever dances. Just a bar full of people standing around. But good staff and fun people. The nonstop country just gets old, but this seems to be a New York State issue, not just Salingers“

“Love this place. We have been in Florida now going on 8 years. When every we come back home to Rochester, we come here to meet family for lunch.The food is so good. Highly recommend the mushroom Alex and Lobstet Bisque are to die for.The wife had the artichoke French. It has been 2 days now, and she is still talking about how good it was.“

“Magpie is extremely consistent in their service. Every day of the week, you’ll find the energy warm and welcoming.I’d like to highlight Ray, the bouncer, for being exceptionally nice and going above and beyond to keep everyone safe. Thank you for you, Ray!“

“The old Toad is about as authentic as it gets this side of the pond, the fish and chips were fabulous but the mushy peas were the real shining star of the plate! I studied abroad in the UK and these mushy peas were among some of the best I have had. Service was slow but the bartender and servers were nice. Great little spot for a pub experienceVegetarian options: Mushy peas are great, they also have some vegetarian options“

“15 years ago the bouncer named Steve turned me and my people away at the door because he said my ID looked suspicious. Then he called every bar except one to tell them about us. He didn't call Montes Crown and I spent 12,300 dollars in there. Montes Crown thanks you Steve. 5 stars because it's a fun story.“
